Now onto our beloved 993TT....

Haha, well, on Yoko Advan AO48 295's in back last year the front tires (235's) did stay on the pavement. I'm thinking (hoping?) the Motons properly set will help this year with the extra rubber in back.

I view the Q1 as a tarted up M400 (lots of leather and more slick looking dashboard), but the press releases claim that aerodynamics, engine cooling and ECU changes are updated, as well. Since it's a relative of the Noble M12/M400, it will still be a great lightweight performance car. What attracted me to the Nobles in the first place was the raw setup-light weight, no PSM or TC, no ABS brakes, just power steering, no insulation-so one hears everything-the engine, BOV, tranny cooler motor, and all the road noise hitting the underbody and wheel wells-from pebbles and other assorted debris sitting on the asphalt. I have owned the car for two years and I still haven't programmed the Sony stereo system it came with-it's pointless.

But nothing will beat the 993TT! That is/will be my favorite car in the stable.
